Wow, today has been an awesome day! I wouldn't give you a status update if I didn't think it had something to do with the gospel or with something that we blog about. This day was the Saturday Session of General Conference, a special church event that happens in October and April, and it was simply beautiful.
Yesterday, Anne posted on how to find peace in our lives and the gospel plays a very big role in our inner peace - the world can tumble to the ground, shake with all ferocity and as long as I hold true to the Gospel of Jesus Christ I know that I will have peace and today's General Conference really made me think about that.
There is going to be a lot of good talks for us to examine and I hope myself and the rest of the team will strive to focus on the talks of this General Conference for the next six months, we'll see.
I thought I would post something about my new favorite scripture I found today but have decided I would rather keep my thoughts on this weekend's events.
Something I realized was that I heard a lot of the love word today and then counsel to put away anger. I can't help but wonder what it is the prophets see and why the Spirit directed them to share with us these messages at this time, I also heard a lot about repenting but I guess that is standard.
So, how about you - did you hear any particular topic touched upon that struck a note of pondering? Who's talk did you enjoy most and why?
1 noted ponderings:
In regards to love and putting away anger. The natural man is keen at finding something or someone to blame for our problems and heartaches. We see this evident in the garden of Eden when God finds Adam and Eve have clothed themselves. Instantly Adam blames Eve and in like Eve blames the serpent (was it an actual snake working for Lucifer)??? One of the hardest things we have to learn here on earth is to be able to see those who we choose to be upset with the same way God sees them. Next time some does something that you react in anger, remind yourself they are a child of God and what ever behavior they acted out has nothing to do with you. Pride come from within us, if we feel the stirrings of anger, hate, pride it has to do with us something we need to work through. We are our choices, choosing to love and put away hate is another step to being set free. What lil bro...Ginger spice-alot!!!
